...another in which all the actors were dwarfs, and a third in which the leading character, an old woman, was both deaf and blind. His best work, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), might serve as a metaphor for the whole German school. Aguirre, a Spanish conquistador played by Klaus Kinski, revolts against the crown and attempts to build a new empire in the jungles of Peru. The film, a kaleidoscope of the fabulous and the bizarre, would be noteworthy even if it stopped after the first riveting scene: 50 or so Spaniards, in armor and heavy battle gear, slowly...
...three years, the Krupp Foundation Chair in European Studies--endowed by the leading family in the German munitions industry--has remained unfilled.

Some 70 radical lawyers are suspected of aiding terrorists. Most celebrated may be Klaus Croissant, 47, Baader's attorney, who is believed to have carried messages from gang members inside prison to those outside. Arrested last July, Croissant jumped bail and fled to France, where, after nearly three months underground, he was caught by police in late September. He now faces possible extradition to West Germany...
